Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : Nothing essential, deep memory scope with PSRAM

Just to demonstrate how usefull PSRAM can be
PicoMiteVGA for the RP2350

This is a demo to sample 100000 ADC samples (800kbyte data) stored in PSRAM.
The cursor keys let you zoom through the data.
Just apply an input signal to GP26. The scope samples at 100kHz, and takes 100k samples, so capturing takes 1 second.

The red section in the green bar shows what piece of data is shown.



'screen setup
 mode 2: cls
 
 'startscreen
 print "simple scope"
 print "uses GP26 analog input, and samples at 100kHz"
 print "to demonstrate PSRAM on RP2350B platform"
 print "cursor keys zoom and pan the displayed data"
 print "press any key to start sampling"
 do : loop while inkey$=""
 
 'pan-zoom
 pan=0
 zoom=1
 points=100000
 rate=100000
 
 'the data array
 dim a(points) as float
 
 'the video array
 dim y(319) as integer       'will be adc samples
 dim x(319) as integer
 for i=0 to 319:x(i)=i:next  'coordinates x
 
 'the adc taking samples
 cls : print "sampling"
 adc open rate,1
 adc start a(),,,,100,200 'and scaling between 100 and 200
 pause points/rate*1000
 cls : print "done    "
 
 do

   'display part of array using vectors
   for i=0 to 319: y(i)=a(i*zoom+pan) : next
   line graph x(),y(),rgb(green)
   
   'display the memory (what data is viewed )
   line 0,90,319,90,3,rgb(green)
   xstart=320*pan/points
   sze=320*320*zoom/points
   line xstart,90,xstart+sze,90,3,rgb(red)
   
   do
     k=asc(inkey$)
   loop while k=0
   
   select case k
     case 128
       zoom=zoom+1
       if zoom>20 then zoom=20
       cls
     case 129
       zoom=zoom-1
       if zoom<1 then zoom=1
       cls
     case 131
       pan=pan+zoom*160
       if pan>points-zoom*320 then pan=points-zoom*320
       cls
     case 130
       pan=pan-zoom*160
       if pan <0 then pan=0
       cls
     case 32
       save compressed image "scrn.bmp"
   end select  
   
 loop
 
 


Again nothing fancy, only a demo to show deep memory using PSRAM on the PGA2350 or Pico2-plus. You must enable PSRAM using OPTION PSRAM PIN GP47.
Theoratically it is possible to use all PSRAM, and store 1 million samples. I did not try that.

Don't use GP26 as an ADC input on the PGA2350. It isn't one. :) They start at GP40.

May not be fancy but it is impressive.
